Siskiyou County Route A10 is a 15.2-mile (24.5 km) long county road in Siskiyou County near Mount Shasta. Known locally as "Everett Memorial Highway," it runs from Ski Village Drive in the town of Mount Shasta City to a dead end at the 8,000 foot level on 14,162 foot Mount Shasta.

The highway, completed in 1958 at a cost of $980,000, was originally built to provide access to the Mount Shasta Ski Bowl, which was destroyed by an avalanche in 1978. [1] Today, the highway provides access to Mount Shasta for climbers, skiers, and anyone wanting access to the mountain.

The road is highly scenic, with a number of awe inspiring vistas looking out over the side of the mountain.

In wintertime, the road is kept open only to the U.S.F.S outpost at the 6,000 foot level.
